Shekeli ya Israel imepanda kwa kasi leo, huku soko la hisa na hati fungani likionyesha ongezeko, wakati wawekezaji wakianza kutathmini mazingira mapya ya hatari ya muda mrefu kwa mali za Israel baada ya mzozo na Iran kuingia hatua mpya.
Ifikapo saa 19:42 kwa saa za Afrika Mashariki (GMT+3), shekeli ilikuwa inauzwa kwa 3.50 dhidi ya dola ya Marekani — ikiwa imeongezeka thamani kwa asilimia 3.6 ndani ya siku moja, na kufikia kiwango bora zaidi tangu Oktoba 9, 2023. Kwenye tarehe hiyo, Benki Kuu ya Israel iliingilia kati kwa nguvu ili kuokoa sarafu hiyo kufuatia shambulio la Hamas la Oktoba 7, 2023.
Awali leo, shekeli iliongezeka kwa hadi asilimia 4.6, ikivunja msururu wa siku nne wa kushuka thamani na kurejesha sehemu ya hasara kubwa iliyopatikana wiki iliyopita wakati uvumi wa shambulio la Israel dhidi ya Iran uliposhika kasi. Mapema Ijumaa, Israel ilitekeleza shambulio lake kubwa zaidi la kijeshi dhidi ya Iran.
=========================
Israel’s shekel jumps sharply and stocks and bonds gain today as investors began to look beyond the escalating conflict with Iran and shape a more favorable long-term risk assessment for the country’s assets.
The shekel traded at 3.50 to the dollar by 1642 GMT, 3.6% stronger on the day and scoring its best performance since October 9, 2023, when the central bank heavily intervened to shore up the currency following the October 7, 2023 Hamas asault.
The Israeli currency had rallied as much as 4.6% earlier in the session, snapping a four-day losing streak and clawing back hefty losses suffered last week when rumors of an Israeli attack on Iran intensified. Israel launched its biggest-ever military strike against its longstanding enemy early on Friday.
The main Israeli share indices also gained, with the broad Tel Aviv 125 index TA125 closing 2.6% higher and extending Sunday’s gains of some 0.5%. The rise followed a weekend of punishing Israeli attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, ballistic missile factories and military commanders, which were met with retaliatory Iranian strikes against Israel.
“The reaction of the local markets … perhaps reflects the assessment that in certain scenarios this war may be a catalyst for a new status quo in the region,” says Bank Hapoalim chief economist Victor Bahar.
